#157856 - this again depends Responding to: ???'s previous message |
There are certainly cases when porting asm is a pain - and the very same can be said on C, there are certainly cases when porting it is a pain (e.g. when some special feature of a given compiler is extensively used).
You mentioned "... in assembly, especially if it was supposed to be efficient..." The same is true for C. On the other hand, you can write programs with portability on mind - but the very same can be said on asm. What I want to say is, that to take portability as a general argument for using C against asm is in my very humble opinion a myth. It does NOT mean that there are no situations where C might be more appropriate than asm, for a variety of reasons. JW |
